HAVE YOU HEARD OF ARDUINO?

Arduino. Chances are that you’ve heard this name before or maybe if you have an interest in electronics you even own one. But if you have no idea what Arduino is or if it’s the first time you’ve stumbled across this name then read on! This article is especially for you! Well, it all began in 2005 when a group of Italian researchers were trying to figure out a way to teach electronics to students within a short span of time. They decided that this device will have all the basics of a microcontroller. A processor, a memory, input and output pins and also a power supply but they wanted this to be faster than a microcontroller, easier to use and understand and also cost less. This is how the Arduino family took birth with the first prototype being released in 2005. As of today, atleast 3,00,000 Arduino Boards have been sold worldwide by AdaFruit (the company that makes them) This is what a basic Arduino board looks like WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH IT? To be honest there are at least ten thousand different things which Arduino is capable of doing. From blinking LEDs to designing Automated Robots, with the right programming, an Arduino can do anything you want it to. The sky is your limit. All thanks to the huge variety of sensors it has onboard a wide range of applications are made possible with the Arduino. From temperature controlled circuits to circuits that react to gestures, anything is possible. What makes Arduino so popular? As stated earlier Arduino has a processor, a memory and all the other things a basic low-level computer has. In addition to all this, it has
